Hey NCAA: since you have now admitted that college athletes are professional, how about righting past wrongs and reinstating the records of Reggie Bush, the Fab Five, and countless others you mistreated over the phony concept of amateurism? It was unfair then, and clearly so now.
ADs need to wise up. If it’s legal, it’s not cheating. And, not to put too fine of a point on this, but the Supreme Court just told the NCAA it’s policies on athletes are ILLEGAL. That’s cheating.
So, the NCAA is going to allow schools and states to fashion their own NIL rules? That means that everything the NCAA said about needing a uniform, national standard for fair competition was total BS. What a shocker. https://t.co/lCXcGGtkrG
Kavanaugh: “Everyone agrees the NCAA can require student-athletes to be enrolled students in good standing. But the NCAA’s business model of using unpaid student-athletes to generate billions of dollars in revenue…raises serious questions under the antitrust laws.”
Kavanaugh: “The bottom line is that the NCAA and its members are suppressing the pay of student-athletes who collectively generate billions of dollars in revenues for colleges every year. Those enormous sums of money flow to seemingly everyone except the student-athletes.”
The NCAA spent MILLIONS to lose 9-0 in the Supreme Court. And they gave the man in charge a contract extension. If that doesn’t speak to the disconnect between school presidents and the people in college athletics running the system screaming for change, I don’t know what does.
This article is absolutely soul crushing. The NCAA says it’s about athlete welfare. This story, and so many others like it, show that to be a lie. Read this...it’s important. All of this for a phone jack...really? https://t.co/rxJjwT6gaI
Can you imagine what it’s like to generate millions in revenue for your school—without being able to afford a hot meal off campus?
It’s madness that we don’t pay college athletes.
In the @PlayersTribune, I wrote about why: https://t.co/7dD9wirK9D
For the “only football and basketball players will benefit” crowd...there are countless athletes, male and female, that will do well if allowed their economic rights. There is no legit reason to deny athletes any longer. https://t.co/XQsfcpohTg
Interesting article by Victoria Jackson on how higher fixation is working very hard to keep from doing the right thing. Jackson is a historian at a NCAA member institution, and a former NCAA champion. https://t.co/RJNZuJiROd
The NCAA needs to wake up. If college athletes are denied economic rights, there will be a talent drain in the future, and that will hurt the game and affect the bottom line. https://t.co/nPDIe4jTHK
